D50UUTEE. PURE
CHINESE SNAKE STONE.
Carious Oriental Product Which Is Said to
Core Poisonous Bites.
Ben R. Spradley, a attache of the St.
Louis sanitarium, at 1635 Sonth Grand
avenue, has in his possession one of the
most curious and what he asserts to be
one of the most useful and valuable of
articles. It is what is known as a Chi
nese snake stone, and there is said to be
but one other in the country. Indeed
the one in Mr. Spradley's possession is
but half a one, the original having been J
cut in two by Mr. Spradley and half of
it given to a friend. In appearance the
Btone looks like a small piece of oblong
shaped cannel coal and is about one
eighth of an inch in thickness, three
eighths of an inch wide and half an
inch long. It is as light in weight as a
piece of cork, possesses a polished sur
face and can be easily cut with a knife.
It is not a stone, in the proper sense of
the word, bnt is a manufactured article
and is of a porous texture.
To cure snake bites or poisonous
wounds of a similar nature with the
"stone" the wound must first be scari
fied. Then the stone is applied to the
wound. Each morning and evening it
is taken off and put into a glass of luke
warm water to remain a few moments
until it discharges the poison it has ab
sorbed. Then, after the wound has been
washed in a strong solution of salt wa
ter and again scarified, the stone, which
in the meantime has been rubbed in
warm ashes until dry, is again applied.
If this treatment is kept np for nine
days and the patient abstains during
that time from spirituous liquors a cure
is assured. ,
"I secured the stone, " said Mr. Sprad
ley, "from my father more than 80 years
ago. He got it from James J. Parker,
the man who made it From 1874 to
18771 was with the party which was put
ting through the Texas Pacific railroad,
and during that time cured several of
the party who were bitten by rattlers
a::i other poisonous snakes. I have fre
quently loaned the stone to friends, and
cat the original in two, giving half of
t tr a particular friend of mine. I have
n i used the stone for some time, bnt
.11,1 ready to give a test of its merits at
a,.y time. ' "
"It is, you see, not properly a stone,
bnr is a manufactured substance of a por
ous nature. The theory possessed by
nituiy that so called 'madstones' are
fo-itl in the stomachs of animals is all
nonsense. They are all manufactured in
a manner similar to this, and it is sim
ply their 'drawing' powers and their
porousness and consequent capacity for
absorption that renders them valuable. "

to appreciate it as I am, now I have
seen those of other nations in their

KAMOUS SINGLE PEARLS.
The Shah of Persia Has One Delicate Gem
. Worth Over Half a Million.
It is not generally appreciated that
there are enormous fortunes in single
pearls, and that a few individuals and
great potentates have jewels of this sort
which are literally worth a king's ran
som. In all the world there is no more
famous pearl than the Tavernier, now-in
the possession of the shah of Persia.
This remarkable gem came to this east
ern king by descent and is a genuinely
remarkable curiosity. It derives its
name from having been sold by the trav
eler Tavernier 200 years ago to the then
ruler of Persia. The price then was
$500,000. It is now worth more than
$650,000.
Another eastern king, the iman of
Muscat, has in his collection a pearl
worth $165,000, weighing 124 carats,
through it the daylight can be seen.
Princess Yousoupoff's finest gem is won
derfully beautifuL Valued at $180,000,
it was first heard of in 1620, when Qeor
gibus of Calais sold it to Philip IV of
Spain. Eighty thousand dollars is the
figure that it is approximated the pope's
pearl would bring. One of Leo's prede
cessors became possessed of it in a man
ner which has not been told, and it has
descended in regular course to the pres
ent incumbent of St Peter's throne.
This, so far as is known, exhausts the
list of truly celebrated pearls. There
are many remarkable pearl necklaces
whose value is extraordinary. These
necklaces are made np gradually, pearl
after pearl being added to the set, and
leading jewelers are constantly on the
lookout to procure gems of like rarity
to extend the chain. On the whole, pink
pearls are not especially valuable, black
ones bringing far higher prices, and
pearls that are white being sought next
after them. Queen Victoria of England
has a necklace of pin pearls that is
worth $80,000, and the dowager em
press of Germany one made of 32 pearls
which would bring easily $125,000.
The Rothschild women have, how
ever, gems of this sort that far exceed
in value those of royalty. Baroness Gus
tavo de Rothschild possesses one made
up of five rows of pearls, the whole
chain being valued at $200,000. Bar
oness Adolphe de Rothschild owns a
circlet that in all probability would
fetch even at a forced sale $250,000.
Even more brilliant, because it has
seven rows, is the necklace of the dow
ager empress of Russia. The gems,
however, are not quite as fine as those
in the Rothschild collection. The cas
ket of this royal lady is the most fa
mous in the world from a gem point of
view. Hardly second to it is that of
the empress of Austria, whose black
pearls are noted throughout Europe for
their extreme beauty and rarity.
What has become of the white pearls
of the Empress Eugenie, sold at the
close of the Franco-Prussian war, has
never been made known. The value of
these was some $60,000, and they were
gathered together in a very beautiful
necklace that frequently graced the
neck of that unfortunate queen. New

As compared with Japan, one feature
of every view is strikingly in favor of
China. The dress and behavior of the
Chinese will not offend Europeans. The
women are modest and dress in a baggy
garment which completely covers them.
In spite 'of their modesty Chinese
girls do flirt and in proper European
fashion. At church they make eyes at
the young men and on the way to school.

"What will von ask tor setting me
across?" inquired Keppel.
"How does a dollar strike yon?"
"Done!" said Keppel, and he got on
board.
He had no idea why be was going to
Port Jefferson, but he felt impelled to go
somewhere, and thought he would feel
more secure in the comparative wilder
ness of Long Island than in a large town.
Perhaps he might get temporary employ
ment with some farmer, or he might find
a captain of a fishing smack to ship him
for a cruise. When he was a boy in New
England he had lived near the seashore
and had learned how to sail a boat
The wind blew from the southwest,
and the catboat started out on the star
board tack, headed nearly for her desti
nation. In two hours the coast was close
on board; they ran into the harbor, and
Keppel, having paid his dollar, jumped
ashore. It was then within an honr or
so of sunset a warm, quiet evening. He
set out to walk at haphazard, and soon
found himself following a narrow track
through an apparently , interminable
growth of small pine and oak. Once in
a while he passed a lonely farmhouse;
but though he was getting tired and
hungry again he could not make up his
mind to ask for shelter. -
Night came on and found him still
tramping onward, with woods on either
hand. But as the darkness increased
the path seemed to fade away and be
come obliterated, and he was soon
stumbling through thick underbrush.
The boughs and twigs whipped his face
and the briars caught his feet. Stagger
ing forward, exhausted and impatient,
he felt his feet sinking in a muddy ooze.
and discovered that he was on the bor
ders of a swamp. He turned to the right
and began to skirt along its borders; but
again and again he narrowly escaped
plunging neck and ears in the treacher
ous morass. Frogs croaked on all sides
and mosquitoes buzzed around his head.
He lost all sense of direction, and thought
only'of putting one foot before the other.
Often he fell, but scrambled up again
and groped onward. Whichever way he
turned the swamp seemed to he in wait
for him. He thought: "It will swallow
me up in the end! And it was for this'
that 1 escaped from the railroad wreck!"
Just then he stumbled up a slope, and
his feet trod on firmer ground. The
bushes and trees thinned away. Looking
up he saw before him a black, rectangu
lar mass. He drew nearer; it was a house.
There was no light in the windows. It
seemed ruinous and deserted. But it was
a human habitation, and would suffice.
He passed around the corner and found
the door; it yielded to his hand. He en
tered, and felt his way along the parti
tion of the hallway to another door on
the left Passing in he saw a gleam of
light through a crevice m front of him.
In another moment he had crossed the
floor and was standing on the threshold
of an inner room.
There was a low bed against the oppo
site walL At its head stood a table, on
which was a lighted candle and some
3mall bottles. The furniture of the room
was wretched in the extreme and the at
mosphere foul and stifling.
On the bed was 6tretched the gaunt
and ghastly figure of a man, who, as
Keppel appeared, raised himself with
difficulty on his left elbow, and with his
right hand leveled a revolver at the in
truder. The glare of his sunken eyes
was appalling, and his hand shook so that
the pistol wavered from side to side.
'Halt! or I shoot you! he said, with a
strong foreign accent
"Don't shoot! cried Keppel, lifting
his hand. "I mean you no harm. I'm
fainting from fatigue and hunger,
must eat and sleep."
The man lowered his weapon. "Ah!
it is no ghost, then?" he muttered in
French, and sank back on his pillow.
Keppel approached and looked down
on him. He seemed all skin and bone;
his hair grew disorderly on his forehead,
and the lower part of his face was cov
ered with a three weeks stubble of red
beard. His skin was dark yellow, his
lips black and parched. Keppel had
never seen the yellow fever, but he per
ceived that the man was dying. He had
arrived at this deserted spot in time to
behold the curse of Maurice Solange ful
filled upon the thief who had betrayed
him,
CHAPTER VIL
THE END OF THE BEGINNING.
" You thought you could rob me.
Keppel Darke, finding that the red
haired man was a Frenchman, spoke to
him in that language, with which he had
a tolerable familiarity. Dnpont, indeed
had lived in London, and knew enough
English to make himself understood.
But in his present desperate condition his
thoughts inevitably expressed themselves
in his mother tongue, and much of the
time he was probably not aware of what
he was saying. He had been ill four
days, the seeds of the fever contracted
on board the ship having brokeojout two
or three weeks later. Dehrinm"8ccasion-
ally overcame him, and he would mutter
things that he fancied he was keeping
locked iu his heart.
"Are you alone here?" asked Keppel.
"Have yon no physician?
"No, no," replied the other. "I shall
soon be well. I need no one. Who sent
you here? Who are yon? I am. only
poor man. Have you seen Maurice:
Bah! he is dead. You can't deceive me.
I have done him no harm. I buried him
the captain and L He cannot come
back."
"What is your disease?" Keppel asked.
"They all had it all but the captain
and me. I had seen yellow fever before
I was not afraid. . I shall get well; I am
not going to die with all these millions
I am a poor man; I have wandered up
here; I'm looking for work. Maurice
he follows me everywhere. What differ
ence can it make to him what I do with
the treasure? A dead man has other
things to think about The emperor has
enough without this. What is he but a
robber? He stole them; I have as mucb
right to them as be." His voice sank in
unintelligible mutterings.
What does all this mean?" said Kep
pel to himself. "Treasure the emperor
a dead man robbery! He has mur
dered somebody, probably. And he has
yellow fever. He'll die of it, too, and 1
may catch it myself. No matter; here I
am, and here I stay, for tonight at least
I can't go any farther, and I can't leave
a dying man either, even if he is a mur
derer. I. have a special sympathy for
murderers, I suppose. At any rate, I am
as much of a vagabond and desperado as
he is. This is a poor place to die in, but
he will be better off with me here than
he would be alone. Though he doesn't
seem very hospitable, I'll make myself
attorne."
He raised the head of the sick man,
smoothed out his pillow and. rearranged
the bed clothes. As he was stooping to
tuck the blanket under the mattress he
felt something cold touch his forehead,
and lifting Vis head quickly confronted
the muzzle of the revolver within an inch
of his mouth. The sick man's finger was
upon the trigger, and his features were
twisted into a hideous look of terror and
malevolence. Keppel had the instinct tc
remain perfectly still, with his gaze fixed
upon the other.
"You thought you could rob me," said
Dupont, between his teeth. "I'm not to
be robbed while I'm alive, and you shall
die first. I know yon accursed spy!
His long yellow finger had begun to
contract to pull the trigger. Keppel's
lips grew white; death looked ugly. Sud'
denly a startling change swept over Du
pont's visage. His red eyebrows lifted
in a strange stare, his eyeballs protruded
and his black hps curled back from his
teeth. But his eyes were directed no
longer upon Keppel, but to the farther
corner of the room. The next instant he
had pointed the revolver in that direc
tion, and fired over Keppel's shoulder,
almost deafening him. He then dropped
the weapon and sank back screaming.
with his hands over his face.
Keppel secured the revolver, and then
looked round. There was no third per
son in the room. The bullet had passed
through a wainscot paneL
"What the devil were you shooting
atr he demanded sternly.
"A bullet won t kill him, quavered
the man: "he can die but once. . But he
comes he is always here. It's the treas
ure he wants. What can a dead man
do with treasure!"
"Your dead man has saved my life, at
all events," muttered Keppel, "and I'm
obliged to him for it As for you well!
Yon will never harm any one again.
This is an ugly night; I wish it were
over. And what of tomorrow!"
He found another candle, lit it, -and,
having put the revolver in his pocket,
set out to explore the house. There was
scarcely anything in it except the bare
rooms; but in a closet in the kitchen he
found some loaves of bread almost as
hard as stone. He soaked it in water
and ate some of it. He brought a glass
of water for the sick man, who drank it
eagerly. "That's good!" the poor wretch
said. "I shall get well.
I don't think you will get well," re
turned Keppel. "You look to me like a
dying man, and you had better realize
it I know nothing about the treatment
of yellow fever, and it's no use trying to
find a doctor tonight If you are alive
tomorrow I'll go for one. Meanwhile, if
there is anything you want done, in case
you do die, you had better let me know
it now.
Bring no one here," said the other.
with tremulous earnestness. "Listen.
When I get well I will divide with you;
there's enough for both; we shall be two
of the richest men in the world. There
are millions millions! I have told no
body. No one knows I am here. If they
came they would take it all and put us
in jail. What is the sense of that? Mau
rice knows, but he can't tell; it isn't
Maurice it is his spirit, that's all. He
can t speak, he can only look; and no
one bnt I can see him. We are safe if I
get welL"
"You had better keep quiet," said Kep
pel. "You're tiring yourself out and
you're talking nonsense. There is no
treasure here; if you didn't die of the
fever you would starve to death, as far
as I can see. What is yonr name, and
what did you come here forr

kitchen, and I'll make a bed of them

thing you can call out.
He got the materials and made his
bed accordingly. His fatigue was so
great, after the exertions and excite
ment of the previous two days, that he
fell asleep the instant he lay down. H
was awakened by a wild scream and a
heavy fall.
He raised himself up, still heavy and
bewildered with sleep. At first he did
not remember where he was. Was he
in his prison cell? or had he been hanged,
and was this after death? In a few mo
ments he came to himself. The candle
was flaring in the socket The faint
gray of dawn was coming through the
dusty panes of the eastern window.
Who had screamed? The sick man, of

He trod upon something that yielded
beneath his weight. It was the body of

on its side.- The hands were over the
face. In the right hand was a long
knife.

Chicago Jewelers Assign.
Chicago, Oct 29. Kasper & Barnes,
jewelers, made an assignment late Sat
urday night for the benefit of their
creditors. Alfred H. Witts tern is the
assignee. The assets are said to be
$130,000 and the liabilities $100,000.
None of the creditors of the concern is

not likely to kill it, for stylish and ele
gant looking blouses in satin .and velvet
are among the handsome autumn gar
ments. Many green and black and red and
black color - mixtures appear among au
tumn dress goods, and narrow striped
tailor mixtures in heather colors are
used for fall traveling and shopping cos
tumes. The long feather boa is appearing
again and is being worn this season in
very striking colors pale bine, red,
amber brown, green and deep yellow.
These are startling and uncommon, but

BOTND SLEEPERS.
Some very hardy, warm-blooded people
forget that summer is gone and sleep
soundly under light covering, even while
Jack Frost is painting weird pictures on
the panes. But we all learn by experience,
and they find themselves in the morning
suffering with stfiness. sorenets, lame
back, stiff neck or muscular cramps. Still,
experience teaches. Like everybody else,
they get a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, rub well
with it, and are cured. Warmer clothing,
and the frost shut out, they snore again
happily, while from the towers of winter's
storm clouds the sentry cries, "All's well."
